EURAMAX INTERNATIONAL, INC. REPORTS

SECOND QUARTER 2004 OPERATING RESULTS

Norcross, Georgia (August 5, 2004) – Euramax International, Inc. today reported operating earnings and net sales for the quarter ended June 25, 2004 of $31.5 million and $250.5 million, respectively.  Operating earnings and net sales for the six months ended June 25, 2004 were $45.0 million and $445.9 million.

Net sales for the second quarter and for the six months ended June 25, 2004 increased 30.7% and 32.0%, respectively, compared to comparable periods in 2003.  Increases in both periods were attributed to the Company’s acquisition of Berger Holdings in the fourth quarter of 2003, higher selling prices attributed to increases in raw material costs, and stronger demand in each of the company’s operating segments.

Earnings from operations in the second quarter increased to $31.5 million from $14.1 million in the second quarter of 2003.  Earnings from operations for the six months ended June 25, 2004 increased to $45.0 million from $23.3 million in the same period of 2003.  Operating earnings growth was generally attributed to sales volume growth, which improved operating efficiency.  Growth was also attributed to $4.0 million of expense recorded in the second quarter of 2003 related to the application of purchase method of accounting, resulting from the purchase and sale of approximately 55% of the company shares between two primary shareholders.  Higher aluminum and steel costs in 2004 were largely offset by higher selling prices on products manufactured from aluminum and steel.

Operating earnings from the Company’s European segments increased to $12.5 million in the quarter ended June 25, 2004 from $5.1 million in the same period of 2003.  This increase included approximately $0.9 million attributable to the strengthening of the Euro and Pound

Sterling against the U.S. Dollar.  Operating earnings from the Company’s U.S. segments increased to $19.0 million in the quarter ended June 25, 2004 from $9.0 million in the same period of 2003.  The majority of the increase in the U.S. came from the Building Materials segment which accounted for $6.4 million of the increase.  This improvement was attributed to higher sales to rural, industrial and architectural contractors and recreational vehicle OEM’s.  The balance of the increase in U.S. operating earnings came from the roof drainage segment and was attributed to the Company’s acquisition of Berger Holdings.

Commenting on results, Chairman and CEO J. David Smith said, “Unprecedented raw material cost increases in the face of tight supply conditions continued to be our primary challenge in the second quarter.  Despite these conditions, we were able to meet market demands which contributed to exceptional sales and earnings growth.  We expect tight supply conditions, and corresponding cost increases, to continue for the balance of the year.  These conditions are expected to bring operating margins under further pressure.”

Long-term debt at June 25, 2004 was $298.0 million and the Company had cash and equivalents of $35.8 million.  Also at quarter end, the Company had $49.5 million available and undrawn on its revolving credit facility.  Long-term debt increased from $224.3 million at December 26, 2003, due to seasonal working capital requirements and as a result of the Company’s repurchase of common stock held by Court Square Capital Limited for approximately $67.8 million.
